A day in the life.


The Crab Louse

he is smaller than a mouse
lives happily in his crab-louse house
his meagre fare
is pubic hair
that he cooks in sauce for his hungry spouse

he washes dishes with panache
and does the drying in a flash
stacks them well
upon the shelf
then relaxes listening to the 'Clash'

after rest he scrubs the sink
making sure it does not stink
as evening falls
the louse pub calls
so he takes his wife out for a drink

I can only echo Ashe's comments. Humorous but.... NASTY!

Ok this is disgusting if you have ever seen them under the microscope. They are filthy, nasty, and ugly. But taken with a sense of humor the poem can be hilarious (and horrifying) to think of them making a home in private parts of the human body.
Just to make it clear, I am a microbiologist and that is my acquaintance with this vile creature. You made laugh. :)
